So with the hot summer heat, I think my alternator is finally failing.
I am getting 13.3-13.4 readings that don't rise with rpm, I just replaced a fairly new agm group 48 battery in less than a year as well.
Weird electric glitches such as the steering wheel going hard until I restart the car. The blower motor reducing speed on its own, codes say that it's due to low voltage.
With that all being said, I want to change it myself but everyone says that I have to remove the ac line, now I think it's doable if I remove the intake manifold instead.
Since I'm due for a carbon cleaning, is that enough clearance to just remove the manifold?
Videos online show that there appears to be enough room.
